Soaps In Depth

Published February 25, 2008

The
In Depth Story: Kaye has some strong opinions about
the secret
threatening to split his popular on-screen marriage. “Zach trusts
Kendall
with everything that he has,” he says, and that trust could probably
get
them past her indiscretion with Aidan.

But Mrs. Slater’s manuscript, written to help ease the pain of
Zach’s
disappearance, could be the very thing that drives her husband away. In
Charm!,
a novel available from Hyperion this week, a Kendall clone named Avery
has some serious man trouble. “If she’s writing this while she’s in the
state of mind that she was in, it makes me as a reader think that
there’s
something going on between her and Aidan that did not come out of the
pain
of losing someone or supposedly having lost someone,” he says. “And
that’s
gotta change everything. Because if I see that somebody failed in their
ability to be who they said they would be, for whatever reason, I can
forgive
that. But if they’re writing a love story at the same time…”

The Slaters’ happiness could be under attack from another
direction
as well if the sudden closeness between Zach and Greenlee is a sign of
future affection. Kaye says he welcomes the on-air friendship and loves
seeing pal Rebecca Budig (Greenlee ) on a daily basis but doesn’t
approve
of the way the soap treated her return and Sabine Singh’s (ex-Greenlee)
exit. “What I think is kind of uncool is, ‘The real Greenlee is coming
back,”’ he says, referring to ABC’s promos of Budig’s homecoming, “I
don’t
know who the ‘real’ Greenlee is, I just know that the scenes I did with
a very talented young lady are part of the story we’re telling now.”
